Yep... And that 220V 50A extention cord will be useful later on when
you're 220vac outlet isn't where you want it.
Note that such an extention cord isn't something you'll need to put
together yourself. You'll also want stranded wire, not solid. It'll end
up costing you $50 to $100 for a 10' to 25' or so extention cord...
